The summer can get super hot, especially if you’re stuck in an apartment with no air conditioning. At some point, you’re going to want dessert without sweating over a bowl of brownie batter and fighting the heat of the oven.

Luckily, fudge is the perfect summer treat to make using only a microwave and a freezer, which will keep you cool and satisfied. Go ahead, share with friends or eat the whole pan by yourself because these eight ideas are taking traditional fudge to new heights.

Let’s start things out simple with a fudge recipe that is impossible to fudge up. So it’s not the healthiest peanut butter treat out there, but any recipe that calls for a whole can of frosting is a pretty great dessert.

Once you’ve got the basic peanut butter fudge recipe down, it’s time to take it to the next level with a thick coating of chocolate. Assuming that this recipe won’t last very long, why not keep the PB and chocolate frenzy going with this no-bake pie that only requires seven ingredients.

Chocolate fudge is the original favorite, which is why this recipe only needs chocolate chips and a can of sweetened condensed milk. The best thing about the simplicity is that you can add anything you want – from nuts to more chocolate to pieces of your favorite candy.

Now let’s get fancy. Everyone loves Nutella just like everyone loves pretzels, so just toss them together in a bowl, spread that out in a pan, and wait a few hours, and you have your new favorite dessert.

This fudge might be the furthest thing from salty, so if you’ve got a major sugar craving, take a little time out of your day to get the party started with this recipe.

You probably have all of these ingredients lying around, so there’s no need to plan ahead. The best thing about this recipe is that you can add as many sprinkles as you want and really taste the rainbow.

You don’t have to wait for Valentine’s Day to make this, so treat yourself all year long. This recipe gets a little fancy with a layer of red velvet and marshmallow fluff, which will make you feel like you’re indulging in a decadent cloud.
